"Control arm rear suspension & 2 pot brakes"?
I'm going to wait eagerly for the road tests, see what the journo's make of it......

The yanks lacked 4 pots on their WRXs for a good while, i wouldn't base what the US gets as a measure of the UK spec.

The main thing is its got more legroom in the rear. whhooopeeee :cuckoo:

jonathan100 11 June 2007 04:21 PM

is the current US impreza the same as the JDM:wonder: ie does it have a 2ltr rather than the uk 2.5

I read somewhere that the WRX isn't coming to the UK, but the STI is....am I right..???

Smifster 11 June 2007 04:22 PM

And quieter??!! Maybe all of the main differences inc 2 pot brakes are just for the US market?

It will be in the 5 door only.

RedScoob 11 June 2007 04:43 PM

Has the market really changed that much for performance saloons? Are current Subaru owners really complaining of a lack of rear legroom, or boot space?
Also, I suppose the 5-door won't be seen as a direct competitor for the Evo X, as the Subaru is now just a hot hatch?

Nope the US got the 2.5 engine before we did, current US WRX and STi is 2.5.

I read that the WRX and estates were being dropped in Europe. The article implied that the STI would only be available as a hot hatch, but I can't see that being received well. TBH if I want a hot hatch in the next year or two I would wait for the new Focus RS AWD. Imprezas and Evos work better as super saloons IMO.

dont like the addition of sarasquares bonnet scoop :lol1:

newbiefreddy 11 June 2007 09:15 PM

:(
 
I'm sorry!!!!!!!!!!

I quite like the look of it :(

However its not an impreza!!!

I agree with some other post it should have been called some thing else and then maaaaaay be then it would of gone down a bit better.

Thats the saloon any way, the 5 door still looks carp and is definatly a rover 200 with a face lift and a toyota scoop

I'm glad i bought my wagon i think it might even be worth a little more now ;) :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :thumb:
